Hot bright holiday
White sand instead of cold snow
Palm trees sway and dance

Haiku – Coastal Stars and Stripes
Old glory flying
Waving in the salty air
High above the shore
+
In case you were wondering, I wrote this Haiku when I was at the beach a few weeks ago. There was a man who lived a couple of houses down from where we were renting. Each day he would put up and take down the flag, which was on a pole at the end of this wooden board walk that led to the beach. I would see that flag as it hung over the sand with the ocean crashing behind it, and it inspired this Haiku.

Haiku – Sunrise on the Ocean
Dawn’s light is breaking
Orange fire cracking the black
Over a rough sea

Poem – Carolina Salt
Fishing boat
Trawling across the water
Birds in your wake
The day getting hotter
+
Dawn until dusk
Waves crash and splash
Hauling nets
Catching your daily cash
+
The life of a fisherman
Hard and calloused hands
Aches and pains for thee
Life on and from the sea

Haiku – 68 Degrees
First signs of winter
House permeated with cool
Morning reeks of cold

In case you were wondering about the title. That is the current reading on my thermostat in the house. To heat or not to heat is now the questions? Not sure I can go there just yet.
Also, one last plug for my free short story “The Imp.” It is running free until the end of the day. Grab your copy, set the Halloween mood, and discover why this house is so haunted. Enter if you dare!

Haiku – Star Night Star Bright
I stumbled onto this today when I was putting my poetry book together. I have always loved this picture my wife created. I thought I would share it again today.
(pen and ink work provided by my wife)
Hopes and fears take flight
As you wish upon a star
In a twinkling sky

Haiku – Confusion
I roll out of bed
Channel changing in my mind
What day of the week?

Sometimes in the morning my brain feels like this song. How about you?

2 Looks at Space
Infinite blackness
Stretching far beyond the stars
Into the unknown

Claustrophobia
Confined in a tight dark space
Buried under dirt

Haiku – Thoughts about Trains
Haunted by our past
Trains once rolled into these camps
Few came out alive
+
A steam engine roars
Click and clack of the steel wheels
Riding on the rails

Poem – ?
My eyes meet the day
Stiff and sore from last night’s run
Body aches with each step I take
Staring at the morning sun
+
We push ourselves
Everything that we do
Day to day life
Turning the screw
+
I honestly have no idea what to name this one, so I was wondering if you could help. Just drop me your title in the comment section and include a link to your blog. That way I can find a way to pay you back for helping me out.

Poem – Mother’s Day
I haven’t had time to compose a new poem or haiku for Mother’s Day so I thought it might be nice to re-blog a classic. Hope you enjoy it and Happy Mother’s Day to all moms out there. Hope you have a great day.
How to describe a mom,
well,
it may be too hard to do,
without leaving out,
too many things,
that are true.
For a mom is a blessing,
a true gift from God,
her patience and virtue,
is something,
you could never prod?

Haiku – Western Skies
Long green grass waving
Across an endless prairie
A lone cowboy rides
